THE... DAILY

THE MANITOBA SCHOOL QUESTION.

his respect of a constitutional question, you have attained perfection.

The first of the two easea to which I shall-allude is that in which the proposal comes from the Executive to’ disallow an Act of ‘a Provincial Legislature ou the ground that that-Act is ultra vires. If it be so the Act is void; and I think I may say that it is now generally agreed that a void Act should not be disallowed, but left to the courts.”

Mr. Blake says that owing to recent and current events it was important that that resolution should receive attention that very session.

Every word that Mr. Blake said in this speech went to establish the principle that on an important question like this, and’ especially an educational question, the Government of Canada should not attempt to deal, but that it should be dealt with by the courts. He continues:

“Those members who have Jong been here will well remember the New Bruns- wick School Case, which was agitated for many years and in the course of which agitation I had hoped, that some political aspects of that and of analogous questions were finally settled—settled at all events for the party with which I acted, and for the humble individual who is now address- ing you.”

Here Mr, Blake says the’ precedent es- tablished in the wick Schoo] Act settled this question of disallowance as far as the Liberal party is concerned, of which the hon. gentleman from Ottawa is a distinguished member. He goes further and says that it settled the matter as far as he is concerned :—

“T regard it as.settled for myself at any rate, first of all that there shall] be no dis- allowance of educational legislation, for the reason that in «the opinion of this Parliament some other or different policy than that which the province has thought tit to accept would be better.

My own opinion is, that whenever, in opposition to the continued view of a Pro- vincial Executive and Legislature, it is contemplated by the Dominion Executive to dieallow a Provincial Act because it is ultra vires, there ought to be a reference; and also that there ought to be a reference in certain cases where the condition of public opinion renders expedient a solution of Jega] problems, dissociated from those elements of passion and expediency which are, rightly or wrongly, too often attributed tothe acion of political bodies. And again, | for my part would recommend such a reference in all cases of educational appeal—cases which necessarily evoke the feelings to which I have alluded, and to one of which, lam frank to say, my pre- sent action is only due.”

Hon. Mr. Scott—Those decisions were not binding on the Government.

Hon. Mr. Ferguson (P. E. I.j—Mr. Blake distinctly said there should be a reference.

Hon. Mr. Scott— He could not carry his resolution unless he accepted Sir John Macdonald’s interpretation of it, which I have before me.

Hon. MroFergusen (P. E. I.) —Sir John accepted the resolution pretty much in the spirit in which it was offered; so much so that it was embodied next year in an Act of the Dominion and it is now the law of the land. Mr, Blake adds:

“But, sir, besides the great positive gain of obtaining the best guidance, there are other, and, in my opinion, not unimportant gains besides. Ours is a popular govern- ment; and when burning questions arise

nfllaming the public mind, when agitation is rife as to the poli- tical action of the Executive or

the Legislature—which action is to be taved un legal questions, obviously beyond the grasp of the people at large; when the people are on such questions divided by cries of creel and race, then I maintain that a great public good is attainable by the submission of such legal questions to legal tribunals, with all the customary securities. for a sound judgment; and whose decisions —passionless and dignifiel, ac- cepted by each of us as binding in our own affairs involving fortune, freedom, honor, life itseli~are most-likely to be accepted by us alkin questions of public concern.”

My hop. fr.end says that Mr. Blake’s re- olution would net have been carried un- less Sir John had given an interpretation of it and given an assent to it. Well, whatever qualification Sir John gave it, he accepted it in its integrity without the alteration of a single word, and it finds its place now in the statutes of Canada just in the words in which Mr. Blake presented it, and whatever my learned frierd will make out of the few words of qualification that Sir John used, he surely cannot go back on Mr. Blake’s words when he said he regarded these questions as settled for the party to which he belonged, the Liberal party of Canada, and at all events they were settled as far as he himself was con- cerned. Iaiaysay,in my humble way, that I have been watching the course of public events npon this question for many years, and I must say that I have long since regarded this provision in the British North America Act which provided, or which looked towards remedial legislation in refer- ence to any privilege conceded at Confeder- ation in the matter of education to a min- ority in any province, as a very unwise provision and one which has, to my own certain knowledge, injured the minority in the province of Prince Edward Island. I remember very well that many people who were not indisposed to meet a reasonable view in the matter of education, pointed to that clause and said: We would net mind giving way in the cities and towns, where there are no geographical objections in the way, bnt don’t you see under that part of the British North America Act, if we once established separate sehools in any place, remedial legislation will come in from Ottawa and we will Jose our power, and we must Oppose every concession on account of the provisions of the British North America Act. Trouble has arisen in consequence of this: has arisen in Prince Edward Island. We know how that provision in the British

North America Aet grew up as far as Ontarie and Quebecis concerned. There

was a legislative union of Ontario and Quebec befdre confederation and they had provided for dissentient and separate schools in both of these provinces; and as at confederation they were going back as it were to take up political housekeeping on their own aécount, there was a bargain between the two provinces that the exemp- tions which had been mutually given should be continued therafter, and to that, as far as Ontario and Quebec were con- cerned, there was no yery great objection; but when the question came up of extend- ing this provision to vast territories upon which there was a very limited population, and before it was known what the character of that population would be, I confess I saw from the first that when that country would fillup with a population holding distinct views of their own on this

have put forward pretty strongly the idea that the Government of Canada ought to have disallowed these measures; and my hon. friend from Ottawa does so notwith- standing that when in office and when a member of the Federal Government he pursued a very different course himeelf.

Hon. Mr. Scott—No parallel case.

Hon. Mr. Ferguson (P. E. I.)—The cases nay not be exactly parallel; [ admit all that; but this much he will admit, that there were almost as strong complaints made from Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick as from Manitoba.

Hon. Mr. Scott— Yes, quite as strong.

Hon. Mr. Ferguson (P. E.1.)—But there were questions of law involved in both cases; my learned friend will admit that. Therefore the views of Mr. Blake and Mr. McKenzie as leaders of the party, that there should be a decision by a judicial body where passion and prejudice should not come in, were followed. The New Brunswick case and the Prince Edward Island case were not as strong as the Man- itoba case, but that could only be found out after a reference had been had. The principle is precisely the same, and the degree of strength between the case of one province and the case of another does not affect the question in theslightest degree. I want to quote the views of a gentleman who is well known by reputation in every Canada, I refer to Archbishop Deeply interested as that vener- able prelate is in this question, more pro- bably than any other man in Canada, yet still | want to point out co this honorable House, that he, speaking the words of truth and honesty, and not for a_ political purpose (for, as the hon. gentleman from Halifax says, he has no preference, as far as that is concerned, for either party) but speaking in a calm and dispassionate man- ner, having this deep interest in the Mani- toba School Act, did he say that disallow- ance is possible? No. Here is what he says :

“After these explanations of the Prem- ier, the motion of Mr. Blake was unani- mou-ly voted by both sides of the Honse, by the right as well as by the left, by the Liberals as well as by the Conservatives, by those who to-day place upon me the responsibility they then assumed, as well as by those who are loyal enongh to recog- nize that the question of disallowance was thus killed in the Commons. I do not know the thoughts of those who voted without speaking, but I know what I thought: what suffering in learning that a fortnight after its arrival at Ottawa, our petition atking for disallowance was _par- alyzed by the unanimous vote of the Com- mons of Canada,

That is what Archbishop Tache says, and he adds:

“This circumstance brings me face to face with certain accusations made against me. The most unreasonable is, perhaps, the one that throws upon me the terrible responsibility of having sacrificed the Manitoba Schools, because I did not ob- tain the disallowance of the laws ef 1890. Among those who made that accusation, there are many whe voted in favor of Mr. Blake’s proposition. By this unanimous vote, parliament made the disallowance morally impossible.”

I am surprised that »ny hon. friend from Halifax, knowing that this resolution of Mr. Blake’s had entirely altered the con- stitutional aspect, should cite the Rivers and Streains Bill of Ontario, and say that it was plain sailing and they could have disallowed this Manitoba Act in a mo- ment. Here is Archbishop Tache, an honest and conscientious man, speaking the sentiment of his heart when he says:

“Iam forced to say they do not know the first word of the situation, or that they construe it in a strange manner. To be absolutely and candidly sincere I must |} add that I do not think that there is in Canada an educated man 60 small-minded as to believe that it was possible for me to obtain the disallowance against the vote of the whole Legislature. Enough for such unlawful and unjust accusations and in- sinuations. It is evident that many of those who speak of the disallowance of the Manitoba School laws are not the ones who desire it. It is not necessary to be very cunning to read between the Jines on this subject.”

And with regard to that very question of the interference of the Federal Parlia~ ment in Provincial legislation, I will quote another very eminent authority, one who has long since passed away, but whose name is dear to his compatriots, and I may say to all the people of Canada, for the very important part which he took in building up and founding this great con- federation. I refer to Sir George E. Cartier, who said, on the 20th May, 1872, as foliows:

“If it was admitted that the subject could be dealt with hy the Dominion Parliament, it would place the question ef education at the mercy of a Parliament of which a majority were Protestants. If this principle was followed, the Protestant minority in Quebec might come to this Parliament with a grievance against the Catholic majority of that province. It was a dangerous principle to adopt.”

And I think, therefore, on the strength of these eminent authorities, that this House will agree with me that whatever remedy there is for the grave difficulties that exist in Manitoba, it may not, and should not, be found in the disallowance of the Act. The time for disallowance has passed over; in fact, disallowance was not strongly pressed. The reference which the constitution provided was the remedy which was applied for; and a remedy has rot been found, I must admit.
